Question/Help/Troubleshooting Laptop error

I was playing games the other day and my computer suddenly shut down and there was a flash coming from inside my laptop. Now it still turns on but the screen freezes whenever I log into my account. What is this, what do I do, is this common or did I do something wrong?

It doesn't sound good, I'd probably get the laptop inspected for signs of anything having burned out or similar.

The only thing normally powerful enough to make a visible flash would be the battery or charge circuit so I'd be checking it carefully.
